Welcome to the Tri-County Antique Club

The
Tri-County Antique Club was formed to promote the appreciation of
agricultural history, through the restoration and preservation of
antique, vintage and classic automobiles, gasoline and oil engines, gas
and steam tractors, farm machinery and other equipment of historical
value, and making these available for public viewing.
We wish to preserve our past for future generations, not only in Jersey
County, but also to include the surrounding counties of Greene and
Calhoun, also the adjoining counties of Macoupin and Madison. We wish to
identify, retain, preserve and promote our local rural history and to
educate the public about "how Grandma and Grandpa used to do it."
